Jeff your screen name, do you work with the NASCAR team,or just have the screen name,Also i just read the ebay that you linked to,Did you see all the pic's of the apartment,it has one small bedroom,and they posted that it sleep's 2 but can sleep four,if your really close friend's family,It just seem's like a waste of money,24 miles out of Keywest, And you do not keep what you find,if this was possible,Also 20 percent of the wrecks profit's, Anyway these people came up with a money maker on there part and if it was me i would keep my money in my pocket,There are way's to become partners with treasure hunters around Key West,I would look into investing into that,like Mel Fisher,Research the internet,But i would not give these people around 3000 dollars,to put on scuba gear and swim around looking for dream's,That's my view,if you do,good luck and hope you enjoy the vacation

no I just thought it was a great money maker also, I would not go that route to many good guys here that have offered to let people dive with them for the adventure. yes I am cousin to the racing Waltrips. I was a track office at a race track in Tx but got to old to keep up with the wrecks. Hope everyone had a great weekend/ I am already looking forward to next weekends hunts. Jeff

Hi Ya'll
I have no idea who these people are or if they
are aboveboard and really capable....but for the money, to me, it sounds like a guy from Nebraska
could have one hell of a good time for less than he
would pay to "invest" in an ongoing treasure salvage operation. Just my 2 cents. Betcha no one
gets rich from this but, the memories and experience are priceless. Mike
Ahem.....by the way, one good night after a day of diving, in Key West can easily make memories you'll never regret. Try it!

It looks like this is Rich and Marcie from here on TNet! I have never met them but have talked with Rich on the phone several times. He goes by CaribbeanDiver and in my opinion is a knowledgeable and consumate professional and is very personable!

If anyone is considering this for a vacation, I am sure it would be the adventure of a lifetime! And comparable to what you get from the Fisher's seems like a great deal. You have to put up $10k minimum with the Fisher's and this only gets you 1/8th of 1%.

All I can say is go for it! You wont regret it!
